hi all,
several days ago, i post a question about the same problem:
http://marc.info/?l=fedora-devel-list&m=118731712707792&w=2
i have remove all "exclude" in my yum.conf, and vidal told me that the mirror i use has not new pidgin, but i search with yum:
$ sudo yum search pidgin
the output has the new version of the pidgin in development repo, but i can not update pidgin, whatever the method i use:
$ sudo yum update $ sudo yum update pidgin
all failed, so i download the pidgin and libpurple rpm from koji:
-(:09:21:$)-> sudo yum localupdate pidgin-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm libpurple-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm Setting up Local Package Process Examining pidgin-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: pidgin - 2.1.1-1.fc8.i386 Examining libpurple-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: libpurple - 2.1.1-1.fc8.i386 pidgin-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: does not update installed package. libpurple-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: does not update installed package. Nothing to do
i don't know why i can not update pidgin through.
